Overview

Why DevOps?

Integrated Agile approach is the need of hour and DevOps is the enabler of integrated Agile Approach. DevOps is a reliable, scalable and collaborative method of communication between development team and the other member of IT teams. Here is the set of best practices that DevOps enables.

Continuous Integration: The few features are easily and quickly integrated in the existing system.

Continuous Deployment: release management becomes easy.

Continuous Feedback: it enables easy collection and integration of the feedback from end customer.

Imagine a world where product owners, Development, QA, IT Operations, and Infosec work together, not only to help each other, but also to ensure that the overall organization succeeds. By working toward a common goal, they enable the fast flow of planned work into production, while achieving world-class stability, reliability, availability, and security.

About SAFe Devops Certification –

In this two days’ workshop you will master the Devops competencies needed to accelerate time-to-market by improving the flow of value through the Continuous Delivery Pipeline.

You will be able to map the current value stream through their delivery pipeline from idea to cash and identify practices that will eliminate bottlenecks to flow.

The two days workshops will build an understanding of the complete flow of value from Continuous Exploration to Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment, and Release on Demand.

You will explore SAFe’s CALMR (Culture, Automation, Lean, Measure, Recover) approach to DevOps, which helps create a culture of shared responsibility for the full spectrum of Solution delivery.

The CALMR Approach helps align people, processes, and technology throughout the organization to achieve faster time-to-market.

You will be empowered with the tools you need to execute an implementation plan for improving their delivery pipeline, and the knowledge you need to support the plan.

You will also be eligible to take the optional SAFe® 4 DevOps Practitioner (SDP) certification exam.

FAQs

Q. What is DevOps?

Provides communication, integration, automation, and close cooperation among all the people needed to plan, develop, test, deploy, release, and maintain a Solution.

Breaks down silos and empower each Agile Release Train (ART) and Solution Train to continuously deliver new Features to their end users.

Close collaboration between development and operations to help trains operate with an automated Continuous Delivery Pipeline.

Delivers solution elements to the end user, without handoffs or excessive external production or operations support.

Deliver value more frequently.

Q. How is DevOps different from Scrum?

Scrum at its best is an isolated minimal agile framework, which in itself is incomplete. Scrum does not address the regular organizational issues, its part of overall organization. DevOps goes a step further and ensures a greater collaboration between development and the operations team, thereby ensuring a continuous delivery.

Q. How does DevOps fit in my overall Agility?

Devops ensure continuous delivery which is an end goal of agile software development. Unlike, other frameworks, DevOps brings greater collaboration with help of tools, culture, change management, process improvement and collaboration.

Q. What is the goal of DevOps?

Improve collaboration between Development and IT Operations

Develop and automate a continuous delivery pipeline.

Increase the frequency and quality of deployments

Improves innovation and risk-taking by making it safer to experiment

Realizefaster time to market

Improve solution quality and

shorten the lead time for fixes

Reduce the severity and frequency of release failures

Improve the Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR)

Q. How Devops Promotes the culture of Shared responsibility?

SAFe Devops leverages the culture created by adopting the Lean-Agile values, principles, and practices of the entire framework.

It enables shifting some operating responsibilities upstream, while following development work downstream into deployment, and operating and monitoring the solution in production.

Devops relies on the ability of Agile teams and IT Operations teams to collaborate effectively in an ongoing manner, ensuring that solutions are developed and delivered faster and more reliably.

It includes operations personnel and capabilities on every ART.

DevOps requires a tolerance for failure and rapid recovery, and rewards risk-taking. Infrastructure empowers development and operations to act independently without blocking each other.

Sharing discoveries, practices, tools, and learning across silos is encouraged. DevOps relies heavily on automation to provide speed, consistency, and repeatable processes and environment creation, as we describe below.

Q. How is SAFe Devops different from other DevOps certifications?

DevOps and scaled agile are complimentary to each other, a strong agile team will focus on collaboration, while scaled agile framework creates the culture and environment of collaboration and continuous delivery, Devops will provide necessary tools of growth in the agile environment. Mastering both Devops and Scaled agile framework can accelerate the agility of your organization.

Q. Do you provide online training for SAFe DevOps?

No, the scaled agile academy is very particular about face to face interaction. The complexity of framework and the practical aspect of tool makes it difficult to create an environment of learning virtually. That’s the precise reason why SAFe Devops mandates a classroom interaction over virtual environment.
